There are only four living members of Capt. John Shawahan's company of ninety-six who left Cynthiana on June 6, 1846, for the battlefields of Mexico. Four members of the company were killed and twelve were wounded in the Battle of Buena Vista, and in the sixty four years that have passed since the company marched away all but four members have answered the call of "Taps". For a number of years it has been customary to hold a reunion here on June 6, but this year Mrs. Wes B. Smith was the only Mexican veteran in town. He had expected to Meet Capt. Jas.
